In the evening we went out and found a hol
low tree with a small hole at the but. frrnin

From here the party removed to the "nat
ural pulpit'; situate on Consul'ndgc some
times called tho "pulpit niountaut." The
stupendous pile of rocks which has obtain
ed the name of "pulpit" has some rude re
semblance to that sacred place. After the
curiosities of the place had been examined
sufficiently, it was concluded that as the day
was the fourlh of July, Confucius should
make ah extempore speech not occupying
less than five nor more than ten minutes
whereupon he mounted the pulpit and spoke
as follows'. ,. it.-'

Thy foundation, laid deep and firm, is

of substances orthe changing of their na.

estal.
From this elevated and self supporting

him. extend his imagination over the fair

his mind from its tour of thought and froip
thy exalted summit of, eternal duration, ask

responsive aspiration suggested by thy un
changing magnitude is, that the liberty of
my country may thus also stand uncliangcd-

The first flowed eastw.ard into Lchightthc

In the morning Axo asked Tyro what he
could say concerning 'such a 'circumstance

Tyro replied that he' saw nothing sur

mind was the confirmation of that law of
nature which has long been discovered, that
through the action of "specific gravity
